whom NJ Carnot has consulted that he Is disposed

adds that IL place will certainly pe found in tho
Cabinet for II strong Ferryist, and perhans mcrc

The Ra licals will not be content with VI. Goblet
as Prime Minister unless the Extreme Left has an
important post. NJ. Clemenceau Will not take office
Some lesser man Will represent him in the Cabinet
Altogether the Cabinet promises to be constituted
asa happy family. This may DO well for WHILE
but YOU cannot talk with Radical or read the
least violent Radical journal without seeing that
tney are resolved to overthrow every Ministry they
do not compose or control. 4" The union OF a ke

serve it, AID one onlv-the President must invite
the Republicans to agree on part OF the promised
reforms and his authority must be at the service OF
Republican progress" The Radicals. in other
words must dictate. Nevert theless it seems to be
agreed that the periol OF truce is to be prolonged
The Senatorial elections are coming on. One third
of the whole Senate is to be elected In January
Senators and Deputies must be free TO run.the
machine in their own departments; so the.Presi-
dent Will ask the Chamber for n vote on account
and then prorosue the Legislature for some weeks.
Some of the more sober Republican journals advise
the President 20 keep fof the present the Rouvler
Ministry. They offered their designations as
matter of course and the President arcen-ed, re-

The provn press throughout France discusses
M C4rnots election in terms that differ little from
the lr.,s of Paris. The great cities excepted. the
provincial press has litt,o political iniineaee Oh
the action of the central Government, but tho
chief journals of Marseilie', Lyons Bordeaux,
Nantes anl Lille count for something. The Re-
rubhcans of those cities, and the Radicals above
all dec arc their confidence in VI. Carnots honesty
wis ION and capacity. Beyond doubt Saturdays
choice is approved by great majority Of the
French people.
